Porsche finally unveiled its first electric model, the Taycan Turbo and Turbo S. The world’s preeminent sports car maker has gone electric, an in a uniquely Porsche way. Taycan’s 93.4-kWh battery pack lasts on average over 250 miles per charge.
The last surviving 1939 Porsche Type 64 streamliner in existence, Car Number 3. A car so directly linked to Porsche’s postwar sports-car and racing dynasty that no pre-sale price estimate has yet been publicly posted for it.
“Porsche 911 Restored by Singer Vehicle Design” might be the world’s longest nameplate. That’s the official and legal name for what are arguably among the most in-demand versions of older Porsche 911s right now. For brevity’s sake, we’ll just call them Singers”.
At last count, the Porsche North America website showed 27 members of the 911 family – twenty-seven! On May 7, that number will jump to 28 with the 2019 911 Speedster, which Porsche debuted at the New York International Auto Show in mid-April.
A 356 B Roadster known as the “Twin Grille,” will be offered at the RM Sotheby’s Amelia Island Concours auction this weekend. It’s one of only 58 equipped with the highly desirable 1.6-liter Super 90 engine.
RM Sotheby’s is offering the opportunity to acquire a 1965 911 at its Amelia Island Concours sale. The car, in Aga Blue over beige, shows under 80,000 miles and has a pre-sale estimate of $210k-$250k.
In the past two decades, RM Sotheby’s has sold thousands of collectible cars alongside the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. This year, the old-timer is bringing a 10-car collection of “youngtimers”: the budding classics of the 80s, 90s, and early noughties.
At its 2019 Amelia Island Concours sale, Gooding & Company will offer one of the 15 Porsche 924 Carrera GTS Clubsport models built, with a pre-sale estimate of $250k-$300k. This particular 924 was originally a Porsche press vehicle.
Porsche will be entering the EV market with the same zeal that drives the company to keep pushing its 911, Cayman and Boxster sports cars to new performance levels. And even before the first Taycans reach customers later this year, Porsche confirmed plans to double production to 40,000 cars per year.
